IGN's Best 3DS/DS Game of 2011 Award

[QuickQuackReviews]

I think this is bullshit! Sure, the 3D served a purpose in this game, but the game is nothing but a big Mario rehash.And this could've been done on the XBOX, the PS2, the GCN, the PS3, XBOX 360 and the Wii. And any console can have 3D!

[justinbob200]

@QuickQuackReviews i can tell you are an xbox fanboy

[QuickQuackReviews]

@justinbob200 Actually, no. I do really like this game, but I don't think it deserves being called "a step forward in video games" and such, as all of it's been done before.

I'm not really a big XBOX fan. I mean, I like Halo, but I'm not really that big on FPS-games anyway. More into platformers and simulation games.

[LucaxOshawott]

Mario Is too overrated and the only Mario games I like are Mario kart and Mario galaxy 1

[nickranzeru]

3DS is AWESOME !!!

[MegaGogula]

3ds sucks

[MrWeirdoman123]

@MegaGogula BOOOO

[sdfdogjedi100]

@MegaGogula nope

[SuperSah44]

Fantastic game. The 3D really helps and I just love it.

[Blaaz101]

I would have thought Ocarina of Time 3D, but that's a remake, so I guess it doesn't count.

Still a good game though.

[3DSSUCKSPSVITAFUCKIN]

I guessed it before i knew it

[foolboyv5]

Mario Kart 7 for me.

[SushiBrawl]

I would've picked Ocarina of Time 3D, but this is still a good game.

[collgamea1228]

@SushiBrawl they didn't pick ocarina because it is a remake while super marion 3d land is an original game

[MrGamer1992]

I don't think that DS and 3DS should be together since they are different consoles. I think this is unfair to put them together to compete.

[co1669]

30 Second Ad With No Skip You SUCK Youtube

[Ushvin18]

Imagine they made a game combining this game and Mario 64. That would be epic!

[jacerockdoe]

@Ushvin18 it is a combination...........

[lyrin142]

Reckon Bower's Inside Story was better.

[MrSuperleobros]

@lyrin142 That was 2009

[lyrin142]

@MrSuperleobros It's awesomeness transcends time.

[doneystoney]

Zelda OoT 3D is a close second, but that wasn't acctually an "original" 3DS game.

[retarted88]

it should be zelda ocarina of time 3d

[Soulreaper2400]

Mario

[93vincentvalentine]

@Republicraticparty Well after I was done reading your opinion about Kingdom Hearts, I think that you deserve the Top rated comment & I don't, enough said.

[SkyLightCX]

I never know theres super mario bros 3d land for DS

[arenipt1]

this is for childrean gamers..=='

[MrDefeater94]

@arenipt1 Childrean ? really ??

[MrPwn4cash]

Best ds game?

[BritishPyjamaman]

Mario is FAR more overrated than KH

[xllDinoman21llx]

Knew it mario FTW

[93vincentvalentine]

@Sorarox1000 Calm down dude! I was just giving my opinion about the series, I Love Kingdom Hearts & I hope that somehow you'll respect my opinion thanks.

[Republicraticparty]

@93vincentvalentine Kingdom Hearts has a legion of followers. Mostly due to it's dramatic themes that exist in both light hearted Disney movies and darker final fantasy games. If anything it's under-rated and deserves more spotlight and discussion, as most of the theology and mythology of Kingdom Hearts is left debatable and open to interpretation. Mario is mario, CoD is Cod, Gears is Gears.... the only other game series with that much depth would have to be Metal Gear Solid

[OMGIAmNaked]

@Republicraticparty No it's because people eat up jrpg crap

[janouten]

Just wrong... Zelda OOT :D

[Bronx1875]

They didn't Pick Pokefag Black and white because there is so many damn verisons of the game to keep count or give a shit about.

And kingdom hearts needs to hurry the fuck up with the 3rd installment not the 3rd Side quest in a row.

[eoisymclikesnerf]

ZELDA WAS BETTER

[SalvaJor11]

@eoisymclikesnerf its a better game yeah but it isnt new which i dont think remakes should be on best of 2011 maybe best of all time

[somacruzfirm]

fucking ads...

[GmnisAwesome]

Yeah... defentaly a game that is supposedly easy... Pokemon Black and White should have won.

[kimtolentino10]

is that even for DS??!!

[GmnisAwesome]

@kimtolentino10 3DS.

[rdmagic998]

lol watchin a vid about nintendo and then sony advert comes on -_-

[mangekyo99]

Before the video I was like " Oo this is a best game for 3Ds must be Mario cos there's not any game left " After the video I was like " SERIOUSLY?????!!!!!!!!"

[xllDinoman21llx]

@mangekyo99 OoT 3ds was a remake that dosent count for game of the year anymore srry btw mario 3d land shows what the 3ds can do its amazing

[ShroominatorSplosion]

didnt expect this...

[Flynner102]

Should of been zelda.

[Bronx1875]

@Flynner102 It was just a remake of a previous title.

[Dragonsummon1]

Americans judging Japanese games.....

[H44classvsBismark]

I thought it was skyrim too...

[SuperMarioandSonic]

@93vincentvalentine Yeah I agree

[93vincentvalentine]

Not sure about you guys but I think KH is abit overrated

[StrikerANDShade]

@93vincentvalentine YOU'RE OVERRATED!

[93vincentvalentine]

@StrikerANDShade lol troll

[Sorarox1000]

@93vincentvalentine OVERATED FUCK OFF ITS UNDERRATED

[SuperPokefan95]

@93vincentvalentine Yeah, it is pretty overrated. I love the series but I don't think its the most amazing thing out there.

[Gilvebeast]

Im gonna

[OXG2221]

sholud've been Kingdom hearts 358-2 ..

[eychff]

WHAT THE FUCK? This is fucking bullshit Super Mario 3DS is not, it's gotta be Black and white, and by the way, ITS NOT A FUCKING DS Game. Ign Only picks the newest, and the most popular. Next time IGN have better reviewers.

[mario54671]

@eychff Yeah, lumping the two categories together was a bit stupid, since they're two different systems. They were right in picking Mario for the best 3DS game of the year with having Mario Kart 7 be a runner-up, but while the DS had a slow year, it still had Pokémon Black & White. Not sure why they just lumped the two systems in one category and gave it to Mario, that's a bit lazy.

[Ps3TrueKid]

@eychff What the hell bro, what new thing they brought to pokemon black and white? An extra 100 new useless pokemon? black and white didn't even came close to beating the original pokemon classic games.

[AquariFighter]

Woo!! Precisely why I'm buying (:

[SerArea]

Mario > Battlefield 3

[VegTutor]

@SerArea Dude you can't compare a FPS to Mario they are totally 2 different things and yes Mario is really fun but Battlefield 3 is really fun in a whole different way.

[lyoko4ever4]

This the result when women pick the award. Ocarina of time anyone?

[Irishandproud20]

mario is a stain on gaming and makes games look like they are for children when really they are not.Mario has been making gaming push backwards for the last 30 years with its childish look and cliche gameplay.

[Badham94]

@Irishandproud20 Please tell me you're trolling or I've lost all faith in humanity.

[srandNULL]

@Irishandproud20 If the video game industry follows your way of thinking, children will no longer have games made with them in mind, and that would be really sad. And childish looking games are not only for children, are for people of all ages.

[linkszxx]

@Irishandproud20 DERP!

[otaku8489]

Mario 3d land is remarkable. It is not on the sam escal eas galaxy but its arguably the jore fun game. t feel smore "Mario" Than any of the 3d Marios thus far. This really is the 3DS's killer app.

Now back to try clearing the super secret level!!

[Shadowtheheartbroken]

kinda saw that coming.

[sohaibmss]

another fuckin mario game LOl :

[InvaderJam1]

Audrey Drake: the one good IGN editor

[orlandofury]

it has to be mario!! THE reason to buy a 3DS...

[Lighthouse418]

I was expecting IGN to say Skyrim on this too. Hey it wouldn't have been suprising for them to think it was a D.S game.

[martinjez1]

I don't know who plays this

[LazyCraezer]

Why such bad quality?

[MrBlazzzzer]

not skyrim........what a surprise :P

[ghostswordmichael]

A plumber on shrooms.... fantastic

[LazyCraezer]

@ghostswordmichael So what's your ideal 3DS game then?

[Megapotatopotato]

@eejay645 yes you idiot

[Shadowlasobraw0]

Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance

[thesonicspeed22]

This is why I never want Nintendo to stop making games.

[IvyNirvana]

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D

[darthdenji]

DS game of the year. Pokemon Black and White

[Robolord77]

@darthdenji AHAHA No.

[catholicgamer99]

@darthdenji Yeah, they should've done a separate video for the DS.

[TheGameHive]

@darthdenji you racist

[Megapotatopotato]

Wheres Skyrim. It won most the awards.

[eejay645]

@Megapotatopotato is this a joke

[yodasmith1]

@Megapotatopotato Yeah, really!!!! IS THIS A HOUX?????

[AndthentherewasJason]

mario is only good in comparison to other games on the 3ds. its a piece of out dated shit when compared to a real game like skyrim

[ClaytonPoweredup]

@AndthentherewasJason Its a handheld if you expect games like Skyrim on a handheld your just a dumb ass,

[ralelunar]

POKEMON BLACK AND WHITE

[epicsheep123]

what? this isn't Skyrim too?

[MikieJoe1]

...Mario games suck

[Tibbex]

Fuck this, Ocarina of time remake!

[BananaBuster080994]

fuck that shit, pokemon all the way

[heronoki]

My brother got a 3DS and this for his bday a few weeks ago. Kinda tempted to kick his butt to play this for a few hours now :0

[universalshadow]

@heronoki do it...DO IT!!!

[rollerfreak1331]

Best 3DS game of 2012: Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance

[supermegaguy666]

Pokemon black

[0103CharlieGCarr]

Arrow In The Knee Anyone?

[giannidiz]

pretty much knew this would win :P

[shawngarson97]

i don't see BEST WII ON THE OTHER VIDEOS!??

IGN! DO YOU HATE WII?

[NSM1035]

Great choice but I still want Mario Kart 7 over this! :DD I might change my mind though!

[lethalmarioxd2498]

@NSM1035 I agree. Mario Kart 7 is amazing!

[dixiekongfan1]

I never played this but I played MK7 and it might be the best 3ds(and only do far lol) this year. Imma get another one for(after by 1 or two days) Christmas and imma choose OOT3d cause I never played it so it will be a new adventure to me!!!

[iownu92]

Remakes aren't going to win game of the year, and Mario is deserving of this award. If you haven't played this game, at least most of the way through, then you know nothing.

[shadowman222222]

mari will always the best ...except mario cart

[pippo17173]

I knew it!

[TheToiletpaper101]

go fuck yourself zeldas better you dipshit

[CaliPanarica]

I gotta get that game

[key015]

Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D is better than this crap -.-''

[acmasta619]

Ghost trick...2nd best ds game ever

[nano69ify]

Eat that Peta!

[gavril08]

ps3, xbox and pc can do 3d, BITCH PLEASE!

[dingeskerz]

@gavril08 It's not the same because the games on those platforms aren't made with 3D in mind where the 3DS games are.

[Badham94]

@gavril08 Yeah, if you're rich enough to own a 3D TV/Monitor. And as dingeskerz already explained, the 3DS is the only console which will have the 3D effect in mind when being developed.

That's why Super Mario 3D Land is the first game ever to have enhanced gameplay due to the 3D.

[DBKaiFANSonGokuRises]

I saw this coming, it's like 3DS best game.

[RavingRabbidsball]

The Nintendo DS had a slow but good year, sure there was a major gap in between March and September but hey this year DS was better in terms of games towards PSP who relied on Square-Enix the whole year

[MSNDBZ24]

@RavingRabbidsball and the ds only had its major developer: NINTENDO!

And only re-re-re-releasing games that have been around for 25 years..

That's nintendo originality for you ;D

[AshXXMayftw]

@MSNDBZ24 Yes exactly TWO GAMES. Ocarina of Time and Starfox.

[Badham94]

@MSNDBZ24 Yeah, love Capcom, Square Enix, Sega, Dimps, Studio Pixel and many more. They're all my favourite parts of Nintendo's developement team. Oh and yeah, I love re-re-re-releasing games that are 25 years old, I remember playing OoT (the only game that's be re-re-re-released, even though 3DS was a remake (from the ground up), not a re release) 25 years ago!.

[carloenix]

@RavingRabbidsball owkaaaaaaaaaaay.

[ShadowOfNexxus]

@RavingRabbidsball what the fuck are you talking about it came out this year

[RavingRabbidsball]

@ShadowOfNexxus I was talking about the DS, not the 3DS

[RavingRabbidsball]

@ShadowOfNexxus DS not 3DS 

[Nintendo3DSFan101]

I think that skylanders and Mario kart 7 are both better than Super Mario 3D land! (just my opinion)

[camraid9]

3D doesnt need to add anything to "GAMEPLAY". It just makes things much more fun of course.

To game in 2D is like poking one of your eyes out in real life.

[airtwaine]

I knew it was going to be a girl presenting this

[SteelGoronNidoking]

I think mario kart 7 was better than 3D land.

And what about good old DS?

2011 has been the best year for DS in a long time Okamiden, Ghost trick, Pokemon black/ white, layton 5, I could go on.

[xaznacex]

Best 3d game of like ... 10 games? haha

[Sauskesucks1]

yeah thats crap skyrim one game of the year...... dont get me wrong it deserves it but alot of the games that went up against it wasnt even an rpg they just through in a bunch of great games like bastion and batman arkim city.....call of duty mw3 and so on and they should of clearly had a few other catagories like best rpg of the year and best fps of the year and so on

[tantastic197]

Ooo a lisp

[sccgproductions]

I thought for sure that title would go to ocarina of time 3d

[TheSupernova108]

Fuck that it should of been OOT.

[SerArea]

MARIO > BATTLEFIELD 3

[michakpl]

@SerArea xDDDDD LMFAO XDashddshashashaddahhjdabkls

[xXBananashoeXx]

Ocarina of time should have won

[q9308]

Where's the best DS game?

[SuperLuigiYoshi]

*classic

[SuperLuigiYoshi]

IGN, DS and 3DS are two separate platforms... Anyway, this is a great game, however I'd be tempted to rate Mario Kart 7 SLIGHLY higher due to its better longevity from the expansive online modes and for its brilliant innovation of a classis series.

[kingdomlanelover]

Ah, Kingdom Hearts 3D will win next years award.

[xxxHDP74xxx]

@kingdomlanelover are you serious bro kid icarus or luigis mansion 2 is gonna win

[jakesworld12]

@kingdomlanelover Thats unlikely. Mostly from the same gameplay and same worlds *and its another god damn filler*. But it will be a good game, I bet.

[Badham94]

@jakesworld12 Kingdom Hearts 3D is all completely new worlds and completely re-invented combat. Watch the trailer if you don't believe me :P

It's actually a main game. Nomura said something like 'I gave Sora and Riku new clothes to show that it's not a filler/remake' not sure on exact words.

But every world they have shown so far is a new one, apart from Traverse Town (but they always have a hub world that's normally been in a previous game).

[mateocos1]

@kingdomlanelover i kinda expected kid Icarus to win it :P

[woskis9161]

@Exist64 you are so fucking retarded

[RappingNinja]

Looking forward to the best GameCube/Wii game of 2011. :PPP

[djdean13]

3DS and DS are 2 different consoles...... So IGN what wins the DS best game ?

[dannyxxxxeryn]

@djdean13 neither because there both shit !

[ianwilder244]

@djdean13 the award for best DS game is "turning in your DS toward the purchase of a 3DS."

[LevyTheAmishMan]

@djdean13 Kirby Mass Attack for DS?

[bouchandre]

@djdean13 they don'T make them anymore

[treetheoak]

@djdean13 layton clearly the best ds game of 2011

[superskullkid]

@Exist64 fucking retard skyrim is not on ds

[Megamariofan110]

I KNEW IT !

[coolfims2000]

@YourEnemy97 that is not a 3DS game... But P.R.B. is

[GrantMattProduction]

no Legen of Zelda 3DS :)

[Exist64]

what, not skyrim? i hate you all.

[PikaPower131313]

@Exist64 not sure if trolling

or fucking retarded.

[Exist64]

@PikaPower131313 calm boy

[NMRemix]

MK 7.

[bentleybroz]

[kyletomo12]

Before the video even started i thought it was mario... I must be psychic

[97DomDom]

[YourEnemy97]

[Seb0astian]

Guys, Guys, Its IGN there all idiots anyway, though there choice was right for 3DS there derps with everything else.

[abdur1996]

[sonicFan775]

Ocarina of time 3d is way better than this ****
